All good things end, and staying at the Venetian in Las Vegas was definately a good time. Although I didnt "party it up" like we've all seen in the movies. I spent most of the time either walking around looking at stuff (one of my favorite things to do) or hanging out in the hotel room relaxing like a champion. I did force myself to go gamble with $100, and it lasted awhile but gambling isnt my thing. I had fun though.
The venetian is beautiful! Heres some pictures of the ceiling:
more ceiling, it was amazing:
The road out of LV was flat, windy, and full of traffic. It didnt take long though to get to a place called Zion. I could definately live here! It was truly a welcome change from the barren desert, and I was relieved to finally get back to some scenery that matches Oregon and North California in beauty
Very cool road. Normally there is a charge for driving through this national park, but this week it was all free! Of course, I like to think it was free just for me and Freya. The road was mostly uphill and winding, and had a really cool, somewhat scary, 1.1 mile long tunnel. The tunnel had no lighting at all, and was very narrow. What creeped me out was that for most of it, I was totally alone! Once free from the dark bowels of the tunnel, I emerged to sunshine and actual cheering from onlookers!
Lookin all pretty, and bad ass. Freya is also known as the Iron Swan for those who follow names and such.
Further down the road, as the elevation was higher, it started to get a bit cold. I pulled over to get some layers on and walk around for a bit. I went a little bit north of the road I plan to take tomorow, as it was getting dark and I figured its a good time to call it a day.
